Donations for the book, through a crowdfunding page, were given MK SNAP, who sadly lost three of their learners to Covid.

Freelance photographer Jane Russell, who contributed pictures for the book, said: “We are delighted with the success of the project and the money raised for a wonderful charity which helps people with learning disabilities be the best they can be.”
